Center Map via URL Parameters

JayGeisen — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 15:58:20 GMT

I'm trying pass coordinates via the URL as shown here: Use URL parameters—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS | ArcGIS

Nothing seems to happen though. Is this functionality not included in the developer edition? I can get the scale level to work, however.

Jay,

This url works fine for me:

http://gis.calhouncounty.org/ParcelViewer3.1/index.html?center=500000,5500000,102100

Hmm, it doesn't seem to work with mine.

Jay,

What version of WAB was that app built with? The center url parameter was not effective until 1.1

Re: Center Map via URL Parameters

JayGeisen — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 16:54:00 GMT

It was built with 1.1 Robert.

Jay,

Strange. Have you tried using Web Mercator coordinates or WGS84 Lat and Lon? I wonder if it is the splash widget that is interfering.

It doesn't seem to matter which wkid I enter in the url. And I was thinking the same thing about the splash widget, but I removed the splash widget code from config.json and it still didn't work. The strange thing is that the zoom level works, regardless of whether or not the splash is on. Was the zoom level parameter introduced in version 1.1 as well? Is there somewhere in the code where the version is tagged, btw?

Jay,

Here is a note on the URL param page:

The url parameter for projection only supports WKID 3857 and 4326. This is a known issue and will be addressed in the next release.

So you have to use lat lon or web mercator coords.

The apps version is noted in the main config (the only thing is when it says 1.2 that means WAB 1.1).

Robert,

If I understand correctly, then I should be able to recenter my map like you did above, right?

Re: Center Map via URL Parameters

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 18:57:29 GMT

Correct, if you use wkid 102100 or 3857 (which are the same) or 4326

JayGeisen — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 19:14:31 GMT

So this should work then, in theory?

Jay,

As far as I know yes it should.

My site works when adding index.html?center=500000,5500000,102100 to the link.

Jay,

So what is the WKID of your web map?

Re: Center Map via URL Parameters

JayGeisen — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:52:01 GMT

My map is in State Plane (103046), Robert. I guess I assumed yours was too. Do you have a Web Mercator for testing purposes or something?

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 14:12:29 GMT

Jay,

I have a Distributed GeoDatabase nightly replication process that converts my data into Web Mercator so that I can use ESRI basemaps. It's actually a simple process of following an esri white paper from making a FGDB that has your data in web mercator and then just having a nightly process that reconciles the child GDB with the parent, and you now have a web mercator version of your data that does not effect your original State Plane data.

34129 - Create a replica where the child replica data is in a different coordinate system than the parent replica data

Ahh, I see. That makes sense. Thanks for the link. So I guess I'll be awaiting the next release. Anybody know when that's due out?
